so the prosecution has, sadly to say, a gift in mike mcqueary. if the jury believes him, they have what allen dershowitz likes to call a triangle prosecution. have you a victim, you have eyewitnesss and you have corroboration. that's a devastating foundation for prosecution. >> from the courtroom he was composed, seemed credible. his credibility has been questioned because he flipped on when he saw the alleged inappropriate behavior, saying first 2002 and then 2001. how serious is this for the prosecution? >> in some cases time and inconsistencies with the time is a problem. in this particular case the allegations are so horrific that i think the jury might forgive him with being off a year, if you will. because the facts of what he said he saw are not the kind of facts you would forget. you might forget the date but you wouldn't forget you what saw. >> one of the most sobering things we heard yesterday was from the testimony of victim one in which he says he went to his high school counselor and reported sandusky had done inappropriate behavior.

mike mcqueary will be the star witness for that alleged victim. as far as not remembering when it happened, i know a lot of people have said they think it's critical, it's terrible. you know, i don't think it's as critical as people will think it is because a lot of the alleged victims are not going to be specifically certain on different dates and different times. >> jean, how many victims are expected to testify? i mean, how many of his accusers is he actually going to face? >> alleged victim number two and number eight, they can't find them, so they will not testify. i think all of the other alleged victims will. you know what's amazing? think of alleged victim number two that mcqueary said he saw in the shower. this young man has to know who he is, right in listen, when i was in state college yesterday, i was talking with a man that lives there, works there his whole life. he says he has a friend, allegedly we say, says was molested by jerry sandusky and he says my friend won't come forward. he says he doesn't want a thing to do with this. >>

mike mcqueary's claims of seeing sandusky raping a child is well known. but there were other instances. the janitor who failed to report seeing sandusky perform oral sex in a shower. the d.a. that didn't prosecute despite the detective thinking it was solid. the wrestling coach who saw sandusky on the floor with a young man. the school officials who were initially skeptical of the abuse claims of the boy who was the first to step forward with a complaint. and the parents who did not perceive the unhealthy nature of the relationship between the football coach and their sons. this chapter might be over, but we can't yet close the book. that's "hardball" for now. thank you for being with us.
